Biology Teacher Professional
Development & Training
Professional development for biology teachers who want to bring real biotechnology into the classroom.
Get hands-on training with miniPCR equipment, hands-on lab kits, and molecular biology techniques.
Biotech professional development can include
Our professional development sessions help educators build the skills and confidence to teach PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA analysis, protein expression and purification, and other modern biotechnology techniques.
PCR
Set up and run DNA analysis experiments using miniPCR thermal cyclers.
Gel electrophoresis
Prepare, run, and interpret DNA gels.
Biotechnology applications
Explore CRISPR gene editing, restriction digestion, protein purification, and more.
Classroom implementation
Learn how to integrate hands-on biotechnology aligned to NGSS, AP Biology, or state specific standards.
Hands-on training for educators
We offer personalized virtual or in-person training for your school or district.
Each professional development workshop is tailored to your instructional goals and classroom needs, supporting middle school, advanced high school, and college-level educators.
On-demand biotechnology training
Live videos offer step-by-step instruction on our most popular hands-on lab activities.
Explore our short, self-paced webinars designed to help educators build confidence with biotechnology concepts, laboratory techniques, and classroom implementation.
District-wide biotech programs
We help districts build and sustain a biotechnology program.
Train your team on essential techniques, implement lab investigations aligned to state standards, and build a sustainable biotechnology program across your district.

FAQ
Our professional development is designed for biology, biotechnology, CTE, forensics, AP bio, environmental science, and other science educators – from teachers new to biotechnology to experienced educators looking to expand their lab skills.
No. We offer training for different experience levels, from foundational techniques to advanced biotechnology applications.
We offer both online learning (self-paced or live-assisted) and in-person hands-on training. Some programs combine asynchronous preparation with live, hands-on instruction.
Depending on the training, topics may include micropipetting, DNA extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, bacterial transformation, CRISPR gene editing, protein expression and purification, and more.
Yes. Hands-on sessions can include training with miniPCR instruments and Learning Labs, with an emphasis on classroom implementation rather than simply operating the equipment.
Yes. Training can incorporate miniPCR Learning Labs and classroom-ready curriculum materials that teachers can incorporate into their courses. We will tailor this training to your state’s science or CTE standards and your district’s curriculum goals.
Yes. We can design PD for teacher cohorts, departments, schools, or district-wide teams. We will tailor instruction to your teachers’ experience levels, curriculum, standards, available equipment, and instructional goals.
Yes, but please contact us for details.
